C&K Dixon St Early Years Centre is research childcare centre offering an intensive Early Childhood Education and Care program. It aims to address a critical gap in Australia’s early childhood education and care system, which is currently not set up to adequately support children living with severe levels of family stress and social disadvantage.
The objective of the intensive early childhood education and care program is that children living with significant adversity will experience a stable and enriching early learning and care program and enter school as confident and successful learners who are developmentally equal to their peers.
It is an exemplar model which aligns with C&K’s strategic priorities and the standards and values that are most dear to us as an organisation. The C&K Dixon Street Early Years Centre is one of three research sites in Australia and will be supported through coaching, mentoring and professional development from the Parkville Institute.
Working with team of qualified teachers, educators, and an infant mental health consultant you will contribute to an early learning environment that is safe, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of children, families, and educators.
We are now looking for a Family Support Practitioner to join our dedicated team to support the implementation of an intensive Early Childhood Education and Care program.
You will play a key leadership role within our new early years centre as part of a multidisciplinary senior leadership team. The Family Support Practitioner contributes specialist knowledge and skills in working with family and social systems to the enactment of the model with a particular focus on the family stress and social disadvantage experienced by children and their families. It is a collaborative endeavour involving expertise, inquiry and critical reflection.
A position description is attached.

C&K is a child-safe organisation and all C&K employees are required to undergo a police check and not be a ‘Restricted Person’ or Suspended Educator under the QLD Blue Card System.
